Impact of Embodied Cognition on Behavior

Embodied cognition explores how our physical sensations influence our emotions and decisions. Experiments have shown that holding hot objects can make individuals more generous, with one study revealing that participants who held a warm therapeutic pad were more likely to choose a gift for a friend over a personal reward. Conversely, those with cold objects were significantly less generous. This highlights how subconscious sensory experiences can alter our perceptions and behaviors in impactful ways.
